It's a good album. That cover is really good. Not as good as Heathen, but better than, say, Black Tie/White Noise.
Sex and violence!
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The status is NOT quo.
Hiya!
I never post in here, but I just had to pop in and say that after listening to Hec's interview today I am convinced he knows everything about music. It blew my mind that every time some random caller mentioned some tiny little band in some obscure town that even Kim didn't know, not only did Hec know the band, he also knew who was in the band, what became of them, who they married, what obscure band they joined next...
Anyway, I enjoyed it very much.
Since I don't even know the popular bands most of the time, and I know many many of you are in Hec's league for music trivia, Ima back out of the thread now, slowly... (Shhh...don't startle the Musicistas...)

Heh. Thank you. The song by The Flirts I couldn't quite name was "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)" - which I love and own. But they aren't very power pop as I said, though they were certainly New Wave in a dance clubbish way. Chris Butler was the guy from Tin Huey who formed The Waitresses. That Bonnie White record that got warped though, I've never heard of, but now I'll probably be looking for it over the next ten years.

Reno Dakota - is that a play on Reno, Nevada?
No -- it's the name of an actual person, who was, as I mentioned, actually at the concert.
I got that part; I wondered if the song Reno Dakota was based on the song Reno, Nevada, or whether just the title was a play on the other.
In the middle of a discussion about gambling songs, it confused me, because Reno, Nevada was the song I was going to suggest.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
David, will there be a transcript or downloadable audio available for your interview? It wasn't really feasible for me to stream.

Damn, I was hoping everyone had forgotten about that! (I haven't kept count but I'm pretty sure I'm still going to be having a hobbit-free Christmas.)

the Flirts as in Passion? As in the acknowledged inspiration for Blue Monday, West End Girls and thus basically all modern dance music?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
How about Bowie's version?
Just not the same. Of course, for such a little-known song, there's been an awful lot of renditions. We hvae the Modern Lovers version, which is the original. I think there were a couple others, too.

See now I didn't know this. Same Flirts - I didn't realize they were a project by HiNRG producer Bobby Orlando. 'Sfunny I was just watching the New Order video for "Confusion" (set in grimy Manhattan clubs) and thinking about how they were influenced by the New York club scene.

How can that be? It's up on their website. I expect one can buy copies of transcripts or the recording of the actual show. I'll probably have to invest in one myself.
